The Maryland Crabs is a podcast based in Annapolis Maryland which was launched in September 2016 after, quite literally years of hemming and hawing. After a few false starts, many aborted concepts, we just took the plunge, whipped out the credit cards and lit Amazon on fire with equipment orders. And here we are!

This podcast is not about interviews. It’s about topics and conversations of interest to Marylanders!

We are not going to shy away from controversy or discomfort. Valuable conversations can emerge from them. We will not be adversarial for the sake of being adversarial, but you can expect some heated exchanges between Tim and John and Guests–or any combination of those.

About Guests–we're going to have plenty of them! Some will be local or regional in nature--others more broad.

And, we may even take this show on the road. Some night, you might find us propped on a bar stool at the Ebb Tide..or worse!

As we head into an contested primary for the office of Mayor of
the City of Annapolis, we thought it would be a good idea to talk
to all of the candidates in depth about their vision and see if we
can find out what makes them tick. Up this week, Nevin Young
who is running as a Republican for Mayor and who will face the
current officeholder, Mayor Michael Pantelides in the primary
election on September 19th.

In other election related news...
